Ah... a living piece of history. I know of one diesel boat and like it a lot.
It is one of the USS Hornet docked in the previous Naval Base in Alameda.
Inside that boat there is an electrical escalator like those in department
stores except it is very narrow. Go see it if you can. You can sit on the
fleet commander's chair like in the movies if you want. The commander has
his own room. It sure is much roomier than yours.
